How to play it

Cancel his R
If he leaps his ult from afar, cancel it with your own R: Infinite Duress is his kill setup, so hold your ult to react.
Wait for E + barrier
It's difficult to all-in him until his E and barrier are down: and even then, only commit if you're sure you can oneshot.
Space and kite
Spacing is paramount: Q poke him and keep trades one-sided; if he gets onto you, W and E away ASAP and avoid extended trades.
Never all-in while his E and barrier are up: you won't kill through them and his sustain flips the trade.
